I would love to do something like this myself. There are no big events like Empire where I live in the US, been thinking recently about possibly trying to plane my own if I can get enough people interested in helping and participating
There's a really good youtuber, Mo Mo O'Brien, she does larping in the US and she mentions loads of different events she does, I'm in the UK but she still helps with the basic principle of LARPing and little tips. Just something to consider :)
I'm a bit curious as to how authentic this set up is. In movies you see perfect;y formed lines doing what their meant to but here with actual people you've got tonnes of shouting, running back and forth, people in the wrong place and a mix match of people within each unit. It seems like film makers should observe these events to get an idea of what could happen.
This is mostly down to movies portraying soldiers who have discipline but you'll notice in those same films the heroes are running off doing their own thing. What we have here are whole units of heroes made up of the "elite" of the empire so for the most part discipline goes out of the window
@@bvmbvmdestroyer I mean you could say the same thing about foam and rubber weapons. From an outsider perspective Airsoft and LARPing can seem weird and pointless but as you know once you get into the game, it's a lot of fun.
Yeah, but tiring and dangerous, charging leaves you very open for falnking attacks and doing it for a long distance means that parts of your unit will lag behind because they are not as fast as the rest and the charge will lose its impact since iit would not happen at once but rather overtime as more people arrives. That and charging into arrows and pikes wont end well. But it would be damned epic.
I'm interested in getting involved with Empire, going to the first event of 2018 (go Freeborn) and was wondering, when you were being healed from the arrow what was that little piece of paper the healer had?
leon howe oh well spotted. so empire uses something called traumatic wounds. refs have cards and will give them to players which will then require extra healing and fun roleplay. I get one in another video from a drake thing as well.
Awesome! Thank you so much for the reply, I'm going to Event 1 next year if money allows, and the community is so great, I've probably taken loads of peoples time on the facebook empire support group, and the Brass Coast faction page, but everyone has been so kind a helpful. Thanks! :D (P.S, love the voice)
afraid not but if there is someone else who sounds like Clarence the world is a better place for sure. th-cam.com/video/W3S6PF65mR8/w-d-xo.html&lc=z13retxbvxzfzvm5k04cffvatv3sy324qkw0k This is me in the middle.
That's is easy to fix :) There are lots guides on You tube and the net. Also if you tell me what part of the real world you're from and your age, i can find a game you can play.
Thanks for the info Kai. I've been looking around. There is groups out there in Pen State. Google is your friend; type 'Pennsylvania LARP' However have got a list of contacts that looks good. Most are fantasy medieval (like the video), but i've got one that is a 'Wild Western' LARP. I will start in saying traveling is part of LARP. There is no getting away from that. Unless you are VERY lucky (and rare in the world) for a club to be 10 mins walk from your home. You're going to have to get on a bus/train or car. With your age you will have to take a member of your family with you. Saying that the family member don't have to play or anything if they don't want to. They just have to be there. The group you visit will at least ask they put on some basic themed fancy dress not to be be 'out of place'. Now the list; Facebook groups (People here put up ads for events and you can ask for help) facebook.com/groups/larpexchange/about/ facebook.com/LARP-in-Pennsylvania-136837479666469/ Clubs in Pen state (fantasy medieval) alliancelarp.com/ The next one ''Knight Realms' (from the photos) the costumes and props look really good.

You not old enough just yet to play this. However put it in as its interesting to show a LARP theatre game can be anything. Not have to be hitting people with foam rubber. www.deadlegendslarp.com/ Next is the 'SCA' this is not normally seen as 'LARP theatre gaming'. However if the idea of taking part in big battles is the thing, they can help. They do a range of events from medieval feasts to tournaments. Their equipment differ; the weapons are made from wood and metal, not padded foam rubber. Instead you wear the padding to protect from the wooden weapons. They have groups all over the US. welcome.sca.org/ The closest thing to 'Empire' with large LARP battles in 'North America' (i know) is 'Bicolline'. This will mean a road trip holiday to Canada. However what is good about this place its a 'ren fare' and a LARP event in one. This means your older family member doesn't have to bother with the LARP. There will be lots of things to keep them amused, when you go off to battle. There is a vacation group that is offering an all in one package tour. There group page is here. thevoyagenorth.com/#about Video review; th-cam.com/video/Z2CuIEEbWqs/w-d-xo.html Costume and props to get you started; There is tons of videos and pages on how to hand sew to making things.

Orcs: So organize, battle ready, and determined
Humans: Scattered and confused
this appears to have been one hell of a good time.
Was there one proper shield wall in the whole video?
Dawn dont really do sheild walls thats mainly Wintermark
Damn son, this is like lord of the rings.
Raphael Rodriguez oh you poor soul, have you just discoverd larp?
Looks like an absolute BLAST! thanks for sharing
I’ve been playing Empire very recently, and it’s weird not seeing the Sentinel Gate not surrounded by trees.
different site entirely
Interrupting the Imperial Orc commander during his rousing speech!
"Good luck old bean!"
"Good luck old-*Some kind of gibberish of f**king Swahili for all I know*"
Seems legit.
Can we have more of these?
thats a really considerate group of orcs, standing in line to be charged at.
Awesome footage man love your posh accent!
Had me laughing! Good show. I'd have fun doing that
Why are people on the front line just not paying attention and just not engaged?
what is the round Greek looking shield the guy has in 16:40? and where could one procure it??
Where do I go to be at one of these
What event was this?
Based on the title I would assume it is Empire, www.profounddecisions.co.uk/empire-wiki/Main_Page
@@yasminload63 no shit

@@leonhowe1299 she also did Empire
Where in the uk is this based? I am in Wales, looks really fun and I am not even into role play but love medieval, ancient battles.
It’s in silverstone, near the racecourse. Not that far really If you’re in wales (well it depends which part)

The guy in the white and black armour is pretty good.
Airsoft milsims are just as epic
Kiwi Spartan i dont think so unless some people bring like a real blank gunn for the realistic sounds, its just anticlimactic
@@bvmbvmdestroyer I mean you could say the same thing about foam and rubber weapons. From an outsider perspective Airsoft and LARPing can seem weird and pointless but as you know once you get into the game, it's a lot of fun.
Would be epic if both sides charged from a long distance
its not easy for both sides in heavy armour to charge specially long distance lol. but its bloody fun when your an archer dropping people.
Yeah, but tiring and dangerous, charging leaves you very open for falnking attacks and doing it for a long distance means that parts of your unit will lag behind because they are not as fast as the rest and the charge will lose its impact since iit would not happen at once but rather overtime as more people arrives.

Are you called dawn or dorne?
Its dawn

Is this a different site?
It's surreal seeing how few people are in the battle here. It's a lot more chaotic now!
LIGHTNING BOLT!!
The Irish bloke in the blue tabard was not taking any shit lol
your voice is familiar.. Grace, that you?
afraid not but if there is someone else who sounds like Clarence the world is a better place for sure.

say what you will, this looks fun as fuck
Ohmygod this entire time I've been thinking you've been shouting "John!!" not "Dorne" (or however it's spelt, I don't play Empire)
Dawn. "Dorne" is from Game of Thrones
0:46 damn that soilder.. why did he push you ?
Friends
Imagen not using a shield wall to push haha
Man, this looks cringe as f*ck, but seems so damn fun
I'd like to larp but I have no clothes like that
That's is easy to fix :) There are lots guides on You tube and the net. Also if you tell me what part of the real world you're from and your age, i can find a game you can play.
